Chic Mens Vest in Washed Linen with Waist Tie Belt
A Construction Firm approached us to develop a chic mens vest around a single idea: waist tie belt, executed in washed linen. The capsule was destined for Brazil and needed chic finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
- Decoration durability failed after two washes

How it was built
- Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
- Washed Linen was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
- The mens vest was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
- Waist Tie Belt was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
- Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.
Result
- 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
- Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
- The a Construction Firm launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.
What we would repeat
Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
